Figure 4. Redundancy analysis on the fecal mycobiota of preterm and full-term infants during the first six postnatal weeks. Continuous clinical variables are indicated with arrows, whereas the centroids of categorical clinical variables are indicated with diamonds. Mode of delivery was significant after automatic stepwise model selection (P = 0.005) and its centroids are displayed; centroids of other clinical variables were left out for clarity. Colored points indicate individual fecal samples colored within its respective gestational age category. The effect of gestational age categories on the mycobiota composition was verified with PERMANOVA analysis (P = 0.005, P = 0.005, Supplementary Table 3).
